Pregnancy...Breaking the news?
Answer:
Sweetie - I'm sorry. You seem stressed out and that is the worse thing to be when you're in the beginning stages of pregnancy. First, don't try to get them together. You and your boyfriend should go to each parent and tell them that you are having a baby. Let them know that you're happy, you're together and that all you want from them is their love and support. Let them know what your plans are with respect to school and how you plan to balance both school and motherhood (if you plan on finishing school). If you plan on leaving school, be prepared to explain how you're going to support your child and take a deep breath. You may not hear what you hope to hear, but it sounds to me like after the initial shock wears off, your parents will be there for you. You may want to think about why your parents don't like your BF and work with him to change that perception. Good luck and best wishes.
Its kind of like a band aid. The quicker you do it the easier it will be. Just tell them. You don't have to tell them together, just try to tell them on the same day so one doesn't say something to the other. You may be surprised, they might love the idea of being grand parents.
You can tell your parents separately - and make sure that the first one doesn't tell the second one. One of my family members wrapped picture frames with the word "grandma" and "grandpa" respectively on them and gave them to her parents to break the news (this would be their first grandchild).
Just do what I did. Call them up and say "HI GRANDMA!" LOL! It was great!
The good news is that your having a baby. You have already made up your mind what you and your boyfriend want to do. I have been in your situation and let me tell you its really hard to know what your parents will think or say, my advise to you is to sit them down. Together or separate and let them know you have a plan... You want to show them that you have given this decision a lot of thought. If your still in school let them know what your plan is. Let them know that your not just thinking about yourself that your plans include this new bundle of joy and how your going to make your decision based on what is best for your child. Life isn't a fairy tale and things are going to be hard but have a plan ready, and have more then one plan.. have A,B and C. The more options you have the easier it is to maneuver around obstacles. You can tell them that you value their opinion and concern and that you love them. They are welcome to give you advise but ultimately the decision is yours. You are stepping into motherhood and you will be calling all the shots.
You should be worried about their response. It is irresponsible to be uneducated, unmarried and pregnant. How disappointing for your parents. Just realize that their disappointment is warranted. Be an adult and let them know about the choice that you have made. Being afraid to tell your parents about your pregnancy does not sound very mature. You've got some growing up to do before the baby comes. Looks like it is time for some reflection.
Good Luck.
